Yet another false rumor proclaiming that a famous businessperson expressed disdain for blacks using his company's products.

ORIGIN

On 6 January 2015, the fake news site NahaDaily published an article reporting that fashion CEO Michael Kors had announced via Twitter he was tired of pretending to like black people:

“Just for the sake of a sale I have to deal with women like Nicki Minaj? I’d rather not. After all my fans made me money, It’s only fair I be honest and let them know how I really feel,” said [the] CEO of Michael Kors on his twitter account.The fashion industry is shocked from Michael Kor’s Ceo offensive statement when he said “I’m tired of pretending to like blacks.”

Early Tuesday morning Michael Kors took to his twitter page to express his true feelings about blacks. Considering every black person either has or knows someone with a MK watch, MK Purse or MK key chain this might affect Michael Kors sales.

There is no truth to the above-quoted article. NahaDaily is one of many fake news outlets on the Internet, and the site’s disclaimer notes that “NahaDaily is a daily satirical news source. Meaning complete fiction.”
